Cameroon (West Coast of Africa) Emmanuel N. Nenghabi Born: October 11, 1972 Cameroon (West Coast of Africa) Died: January 27, 2009 Lubbock, Texas Physicist PhD Physics Student Teacher Researcher Collaborator Friend

Emmanuel N. Nenghabi, my PhD student, passed away unexpectedly following an illness Tues., Jan. 27, 2009. At Texas Tech, he was an excellent graduate student, earning mostly A's in the courses. He also was a very good teacher who was well liked & very popular with the undergraduates in the Physics Lab courses he taught. Student evaluations of his teaching uniformly indicate that he was a teacher with rigorous standards, who also treated students fairly. He was a highly intelligent, very hard working, very ambitious and productive PhD student, who was well on his way to becoming an excellent researcher in computational materials theory. It was my privilege to have been his research supervisor for about the last 3 years of his life. He was extremely close to finishing his PhD. We had planned his defense to be late in the Spring Semester of 2009.

Emmanuel was self-motivated & wrote papers without me asking him to Emmanuel was self-motivated & wrote papers without me asking him to. Sometimes, he had to push me to get papers submitted to the publisher. At the time of his death, we had already published 4 papers in high quality, peer-reviewed physics journals based on his work. At least 2 more papers will be submitted in 2009. His published papers are listed below. He also gave 3 presentations of our work at Texas Section APS meetings, as well as a presentation to the National APS meeting in New Orleans in March, 2008. He had planned to give another presentation at the National APS meeting in Pittsburgh in March, 2009. In addition to the obvious loss to my research program, I also miss Emmanuel a lot personally. I was privileged to be his friend, as well as his mentor. He was a wonderful friend, not just to me, but also to most people in the Department of Physics. He was well-liked by everyone who knew him and, in turn, he liked everyone. He was always cheerful and was always willing to help others. He also often volunteered for tasks when few others would come forward. As his PhD supervisor, I miss him a lot. As his friend, I am very sad that I cannot have even one more conversation with him.
